Outcast Outcast 4s v2 roof skids

[Luigibell78]

Hey guys.

Just picked up a brand new blue v2 and literally within 5min of running it down the street it skidded on it's roof only to scratch the crap out of the bodyshell....

Ya it's part of the hobby but that sweet blue body looks like crap now.

Has anyone though of custom modifying the infraction 3s/6s roof skids to fit on the top of the body yet? The 3s one may line up pretty good with a few holes drilled into the roof?


Also...what components do you guys think it would take to mount the kraton v2 wheelie bar on the outcast? As cool as the wheelies are....I think it's a little to much and ends up on the roof more often....haha

I'm sure you could find a set of 3D printed skids to fit the Outcast V2 on Ebay: I got a set of aluminum roof skids for my Kraton 6s from there.

Theses are great and I have them on most of my cars.

I put that exact set on mine and it saved me on my first run. Just be careful where you mount them to allow space for the body clips. I put mine too close to the posts the first time.

That's what I did too!

haha, at least I wasn't the only one. After I installed them, I went to put the clips in and thought "Oh, you dummy". They do work nice, though. Looks like you got some good scuffs on yours.

No, I just meant I used the same body skid set as you lol... sorry, you are the only one but just like you said, saved me on the very first run

+1 on the prolines. Have then on my K4s

Since my OC4s has the roll bar, I just added some automotive plastic fasteners to the roof. Got a pack of like 100 for $6. Pop it out and put on a new one when it gets worn down fron skids.

Hit and miss....the parts may be 20-30 bucks then shipping cost is almost the same....

Is the Roof and Hood dimensions on the OCv2 the same as the v1s?

Thank you very much.
That should get me started.

So I bought and installed the proline roof skid/protector kit like some of you suggested. They look great and work well

I also changed the wheelie bar frame to the one on the kraton 4s.

The stock outcast wheelie bar is just to high up for my taste... keeps flipping over...the kraton wheelie bar frame is lower and wider .. can do wheelies for 200+ feet

And I ditched the stock slt3 transmitter... using my radiolink rc6gs v2. The trigger response is much better

Definitely a fun truck to run.

I can take measurements of the v1 later today if you still would like them. By my eye the V1 seems narrower and shorter in all areas.

Appreciate it.

I'll get with you and let you know what dimensions I'm gunning for..
Thanks buddy.

These are the ones I came up with a long time ago.. I can't even count how many sets I've gotten rid of on eBay..

For me, moldable skids are just where it's at..

These are cool, do they actually hold up to some road rash? Looks like a fairly simple design too.

They hold up quite well, they aren't hard plastic, so it takes alot to get them worn out..

The thing I like most about my design is how they are secured into the body.. The retaining nuts are shanked, and they expand when tightened.. no metal screw to lexan contact, so no rips or distortion in the body over time...
